This is a tale that I'm not sure what to do with. The main issue comes from the fact that (Spoiler Warning) the Foundation would likely reject the cadavers offered if they were the daughters of an employee.

This is a minor plot issue but let me know if it deters from the main story. Let me know in the comments what you think.

And considering that Esther has heard rumors of statues that move, etc., isn't that a security breach? The Foundation would never allow that sort of thing to leak out. And I think they would take Sophie's body and disappear Howard because hey, a cadaver is a cadaver.
